摘要

Esophageal cancer and its treatment differ largely between the West and the East because West and East are concerned – at least in part – with different diseases: squamous cell cancers are the prevailing tumor type in Japan and other parts of Asia whereas this entity is now clearly outnumbered in Europe and North America by esophageal adenocarcinoma. The latter are mostly Barretts cancers, arising within the precancerous Barretts esophagus, promoted by the chronically damaging effect of gastro-esophageal reflux. The epidemiological differences entail differences in treatment concepts: esophageal cancer in principle is a surgical disease in Japan, with a high prevalence of early tumor stages in everyday clinical practice. In the West, a majority of esophageal cancers are seen in an advanced stage. Many tumors, in which R0 resection by primary surgery is unlikely, are approached with neo-adjuvant protocols that aim at downsizing of the tumor/downstaging of the disease before subsequent surgical resection. In Japan, by contrast, multimodal therapy is preferentially used in the adjuvant setting, in patients regarded at risk for recurrence. There have also been several very similar developments in the West and the East, especially the improved prognosis after esophageal cancer resection. Better long-term results (prolonged survival) are closely related to improved short-term results (decrease of morbidity and mortality) after esophagectomy. Both effects are multifactorial in nature and are attributable to better patient selection (risk analysis, improved staging), standardization of surgical techniques, and concentration of treatment in specialized high-volume centers.
